General Question

Media Player Classic vs. VLC?

A lot of people swear by VLC, but I just don’t get it. It has a ton of neat features and tweaks, but the video quality isn’t quite as good as MPC. Or am I wrong? Are there settings I’m just not aware of? Does the brand new version of VLC look better?

I love MPC except for one thing – you can’t darken the color of the control bar. It’s quite a contrast from whatever you might be watching, unless you go full screen of course. Has anyone figured out how to solve this? This issue alone forces me to try out other media players, it’s a huge problem for my delicate eyes :(
